Going Viral

There are only about seven hundred of you, dear readers. The old Judge’s blog is hardly what might be called mainstream media.

Still, I like to think that when I write these little essays, some of you will think them of sufficient interest to forward my announcement to some of your friends and relatives.

Candidly, I am often surprised to read about some of the odd ball things on the Internet that go viral.

Of course, you have to admit that little kids are cute. And some not so cute.

Here’s one that got over 36 million hits:

Thirty-six million! Even if everyone in their home town looked at it a hundred times, it had to be seen by one heck of a lot of eye balls.

Admittedly, my interests aren’t as sexy as most of the viral videos. Still, I do write about many of the things that the guys gab about in the neighborhood bars and the ladies belabor at book club.

And heaven knows there is a lot of talk on television about the government. Matter of fact, it sometimes seems that’s all the talking heads talk about, and nobody seems to be very happy with it.

Which brings me to the point of this blog. I have decided to try my hand at being a talking head.

It’s not what you would call a professional effort, but then most of the stuff that treks across the Internet starts out in somebody’s kitchen. My effort was recorded in my son-in-law’s den.

Anyway, I’ll cut this blog short to leave you some time to listen to the old judge. I hope you will pass it along to the folks on your contact list.
